Let’s make BETTER presentations
VISUALIZE
ORGANIZE
TELL A STORY

Today, people are 90% visual.
VISUALIZE

Present with CON-text
not just text
Words + Pictures > Words
Visualize what you will say and how you will say it

Avoid using clipart
Select real meaningful images
If you don’t have a good picture, don’t put any
30pt should be your smallest font size

Kiran’s Simple Design Rules
1 Idea per slide
2 Fonts at most
3 Matching colors at most
4-tos Not clipart

“
Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler.
ORGANIZE
“

Structure your presentation
Establish rapport
Greet and state your objective
Start interesting
Create a smooth slide flow
End with a BANG

Slidumentation is not acceptable
Do not copy-paste from books/internet
Make your OWN slides

Creating effective slides is just half the battle, DELIVERY
is another challenge.

Ask questions
Look at your audience

Deliver with confidence
Know your slides beforehand
Talk slowly but clearly

RULES are just RULES
